God is the all. Hard is it to find the noble man who recognizes this.

Those whom greed robs of knowledge go to other gods,

Cleave to many rulers—their own nature rules them,

And whatsoever divinity one strives to honor in belief,

I respect his belief and direct him to the right place.

If he strives in firm belief towards his divinity's favor and grace,

Then shall he in part get what he wants, for I gladly put good in his way.

Yet the result is but limited in the case of those of limited sensibility.

He finds the gods who honors them. Who honors me, attains to me.”

[VII, 19-23.]
